error
========
Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation

and tab container while designing not showing controls and shows 1 could not be set on property 'ActiveTabIndex'

Answer 2

hi friend,

there is two solution for this problem.

1. set EnableEventValidation="false" attribute of aspx <%@page--%> tag .

2. Or if you have some code written inside the page_load event if not necessary to call the code at postback then

  if(!Page.IsPostBack)
{
   // you complete code inside page_load event will go here
}

Any of the above method will solve your problem.. but choose second one carefully it may change your behavior of program while postback.
